Missouri Holstein Association

MO Dairy is the newly formed dairy group in Missouri. They have moved the Expo to The Lodge at Port Arrowhead, Lake Ozark, MO. The Friday schedule is condensed and Missouri Holstein is not hosting a fund raising activity.

The State Sale committee decided that for 2020 we are going to host a calf and heifer sale in conjunction with Missouri 4-H Dairy Cow Camp in May. This will provide a tag-sale type environment for both youth and adults to purchase high quality calves ready to show and provide opportunity for high quality genetics.

Friday evening Missouri Holstein will host committee meetings along with the presentation of awards from 2020 during the MO Dairy social event. Junior Princess and Miss crowning will also take place Friday evening. Saturday will feature our regular meetings along with a junior speech run-off. No formal meal will be occurring on Saturday. A box lunch is available.

Do you have a nice young calf that is out of one of your good cow families? Do you think she might turn out to be a good cow someday? Well the Sho-Me Holstein Futurity is for YOU!

The Missouri Holstein Futurity consists of a one-time entry fee of $25 when calves are nominated and the cattle will be shown as Three-Year Olds.

All of the money collected for entry fees is split between the cattle shown the final year on a percentage basis. All of the extra money raised each year from donors is divided equally among all the entrants that show in the futurity.

So, if you have some heifers that were born between September 1, 2019 and August 31, 2020 then click on the 2023 3-Yr-Old Futurity Form below. check back for form. Entries will be due February 1, 2021. Print form and submit all entries and monies by FEBRUARY 1, 2016.

If you have any questions or would like me to mail you a form just fill out the request for information form at the bottom of the page.
